Anyone have opinions on Road Runner high speed?
I was thinking of getting it so any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Andy

The service here in Houston is great. Like TheEvil1, I experience no slow down at all. That seems to be more of a DSL marketing tool. ;) The last time I ran a speed test over at DSLReports, it was like 1975 down and 375 up.

I have roadrunner here in LA...Runs fast (1972/356). Only had one hiccup, which they promptly fixed.

No problems in Austin, TX. Very fast (2400+ download). After using DSL more than
one year, I believe that people choose DSL for three reasons:

1-No cable service.
2-When DSL is cheaper.
3-False advertisements (like from SWbell) which says cable may be slower
when shared. I have a lot of friends with cable and no one has this sharing
problems. And my cable is 2.5 times faster than my previous DSL.

Yep, service in Columbus, Ohio is great. I have had it for 5 years... no complaints :) It is much faster than my brothers DSL connection

check www.dslreports.com for user reviews of broadband access in various area's

RR could be great in my area but suck in yours, broadband is funny like that. DSLreports is a great way to see how many people are bitchin about access problems in your area.

I just got road runner and it is fing amazing. Way better than the phone companies since they require a login and way better than the other cable companies broadband. Simply the best money can buy!

Love it 2500+ download speeds. Get a router with firewall protection though. You can find good one by SMC, Netgear, Linksys, etc... for abouot $50.
